We ended up in a place that was used for cultish rituals (aka: religion). Tens of big trash bins, lots and lots of garbage, fire pits...and signs about "virgins". Except that, the place was quiet and still ok 😃.

Maybe you can start it first per tribe, then expand globally.
Goal: humans should not have to trade in order to survive in this society. Since this creates a tsunami of problems for people and the rest of this planet. (source)
Plan:
Basic needs trade-free.
Make the most basic needs services trade-free. Healthcare, transportation, shelter, basic food, access to Internet (information and communication). You can do that through taxes, through volunteers, through all sort of means. Many tribes already provide some of these as trade-free, like in Europe a lot of the healthcare systems are like that. Not difficult!

Basic Income.
Since this world still relies on trades (money), and people may have different sort of needs and definitely wants, give everyone a basic income (say 1.000 dollars a month) with no strings attached. You can do it again through taxes, via the removal of so many institutions and resources dedicated to track people and check if they are eligible for benefits, and all of the paperwork nonsense that has been created around this. No more "benefits", no more "pensions". Forget about labeling people as employed or unemployed in regards to who should be helped.
That is it!
Now you will have a bunch of humans who KNOW they are taken care of. They KNOW that if they get sick they should only worry about that health problem and not a financial problem. They KNOW that they wont starve or end up on the street. They know they are SAFE.
On top of this, with the money you give them monthly, they can have some power and focus on doing some useful things in this society. At least some will, if not many.
This can grow up over time into a saner society of humans who can refuse to work for bullshit companies, or do any bullshit jobs. A world in which humans have the time to decide what to focus on, who to "vote" for, stay informed and properly inform others.
A world where scientists or journalists should not worry about their livelihood. So they can do their "jobs" properly.
We deserve and need this world. Else there is no intelligent species on this planet.
These are the places I love the most. Kinda alone. Nature. Peaceful.
Today we got another Abuse report from the hosting company. I think I am quite sure there was something bad with our server, namely with our Synapse (Matrix) server. It was accessing iPs from outside every second or so. Lots and lots of requests. After investigating we realized we had around 500 guest users. These users do not need an email account/registration to be part of the server. We enabled that a while ago. Bad decision.
We nuked them all today. Now hopefully that was the issue and many of these were bots spamming other Mat

Beautiful night sky :)

We need to think well about the services we provide for TROM.tf because they can be abused...
Hopefully this fixes the issue with the hosting.
These days/weeks I have to work on a new WebApe project, to make some money, so I will have to delay any creative work I planned to do. But if this new project can be done then I will get more monthly financial support, which is something I really need.
And after it is done I can think of new content to create for TROM.
I wish TROM had enough financial support so I can only focus on TROM... tromsite.com/donate
But well.
Anyway, we will stay in this place for a few days so I can do some work. We have unlimited internet and power from the sun. And we will post new videos here videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/vide… - new one tomorrow :)
In an era when AI can generate essays that mimic human writing with startling fluency, the question "What are we actually assessing?" has never felt more urgent.
I’ve just published a new blog post reflecting on a recent conversation with a colleague who argues that remote assessment is no longer trustworthy. Their proposed solution? Reintroduce in-person elements—even brief ones—to every assessment.
But what if the real challenge isn't technological, but pedagogical? What if the answer lies not in surveillance, but in reimagining the way we define and design assessment?
'Goed nieuws', schrijft NUnl. 'Robots kunnen nu sociale interactie en emoties aan kinderen leren.'
Was dit maar een 1 april bericht... In welke dystopie proberen Neerincx en het Centrum voor Jeugd en Gezin ons te krijgen?
"Het zit op het randje van ethisch verantwoord", vindt Cock Heemskerk, lector robotica dan wel. Goh, zou je denken??
'We kunnen binnenkort 110.000 zorgmedewerkers ontslaan!' juicht een rapport.
Cool, grapt Heemskerk, want robots laten tenminste nergens "hun meningen [in] doorschijnen, want die hebben ze toch niet."
Heeft deze lector zijn vak misschien geleerd van ChatGPT tekstjes? Één van de vele problemen met AI en robots is nou juist dat mensen denken dat ze neutraal en objectief zijn, terwijl ze én de vooringenomenheid van hun programmeurs weerspiegelen, én hallucineren bij de vleet.
Maar nee hoor, fuck het milieu & de aanslag van AI op klimaat, fuck die zorgmedewerkers, fuck die kids. Laten we kids met emotionele problemen maar aan robots koppelen, want die snappen emoties zo goed.

Feedback is baffled – baffled! – as to why Facebook owner Meta's attempts to suppress a previous employee's memoir sent the book rocketing to the top of the book charts

It was so great to meet with these wonderful people in the South of Spain. Thank you for coming to meet with us. Great time, great friends, great memories :)

description:
For decades, scientists have tried to unlock the secrets of ancient DNA. But life’s genetic blueprint is incredibly fragile, and researchers have struggled to find genetic material in fossils that has survived for millions of years. Then, one maverick scientist had the controversial idea of looking for DNA not in fossils or frozen ancient tissue – but in the soil.
This film follows the scientists deciphering the oldest DNA ever found and revealing for the first time the genes of long-extinct creatures that once thrived in warm, lush Arctic landscapes.
